Competition

De Vries, European Champion!

The outcome of the race was clear in the final of the 2009 European KF3 Championship at Zuera. The suspense lasted through the first few corners with 3 drivers in front, but then Nyck De Vries (Zanardi / Parilla) decided to show who was boss. Then he continued to widen the gap to Carlos Sainz (Tony Kart / Vortex)which closed only once, when approaching the finish line. This was a proper victory and the competition could not get close. Carlos Sainz tried everything in the fateful first corner and then to not get left behind by the diminutive Dutchman, but in vain.

Raffaele Marciello (Intrepid / TM) long occupied 3rd place before it was stolen away by Danil Kvyat (Tony Kart / Vortex) at the end of the race. Colomé continued to improve by picking up 5th place. Barrabeig gave everything to come back from the back of the grid, but had to settle for a disappointing 9th position. Pierre Gasly, the first French driver, finished 23rd after racing strongly. Mathieu Jaminet was not high in the classification, he encountered problems in the form of an attacker on the first lap who stopped his attack. He was not pleased with his 25th place … And Rémy Deguffroy? He made a quite satisfactory start before crashing with a competitor who damaged his bodywork and electronics. Obviously, it worked much less well afterwards …
